Data hiding involves hiding of information in a cover media to obtain the indistinguishable media, in such a way that the cover media is supposed not to have any embedded image for its unintended recipients.Steganography and Watermarking are main parts of the fast developing area of information hiding.This paper is based on Steganography, Watermarking and Cryptography where the system ensures secured image transfer between the source and destination.Encrypted image bits are embedded into higher and random LSB layers, resulting in increased robustness against noise addition.On the other hand, multi-objective Genetic Algorithm operators are used to reduce distortion.The basic idea of this paper is to improve security.For this improvement image embedding position numbers are converted to optimized Arrays and these Arrays are embedded into the Audio file.Performance based on imperceptibility, security and hiding capacity has been evaluated and discussed.
